It is the world s most effective teacher. Everyone s doing it is the theme for today programming. Many Yean ago our Small children watched a segment of the to program the three stooges and Al its con Cuilon one of he children did one of the three stooges favorite gestures Finger poking in the Eye. The victim was nuked to the emergency room to the consternation an confusion of the offender. When the stooges did in no one waiver Hurt. Fit Ionov it s of to imitate Finger poking in the Eye is from the past today s insidious lesson taught by television is to do everything i excess. Living High is what we should strive for. Heroes and heroines on the tube Alt live in mansions have serv ants drive expensive can and have luxurious furs diamonds and Champagne nobody  s schools and today s parents Are challenged to combat the misconceptions and poor examples set by the one eyed monster.

I find it Middle class Ana unimaginative. The candid Are much Wanner and Ali nude and i have them proudly displayed in my  has told me that the mothers of All her friends have their wedding pictures in their living rooms and she feels Hurt that i Don t do the same. I  looking Forward to your reply with great interest dear . 1 out think of few things More personal than the selection of photos to be on display in one s Home. Lys Snook not try to Lay a guilt trip on her Mother. Singles married Issue stimulates debate the Young Soldier who wrote the letter regarding single is married discrimination Only touched the lip of the iceberg. I could fill this Page with my feelings on this subject As 1 was a single Soldier for More than 17 of my in years of rvice.7thii i will not trouble you readers with however then Are a few words i would like to pass on to Hose single soldiers who feel the system has betrayed them. I the service will not change in the foreseeable future -2. Do not sell yourself Short by entering a marriage for convenience to move out of the Barracks. 3. Do not escape your four Walls by going to bar Sand discos. You cannot drown your troubles 4. Use your Lime wisely. Go to night school when the Opportunity presents itself 5. Learn a Hobby or buy a Home computer some thing constructive to do in the Barracks before Long you will not realize thai you live in a box.6. Travel see some of your surroundings you can do More than your married  lastly there Are negative things in our world As Well As positive. Make the Best of the positive. Chang what negative we can but do not be overcome by u e negative element thai will not be  patient work and study hard and Good things will come your  sgt Ted Snyder stuttgart1 believe it is a very important Issue and should have been answered More in depth than the reply stated. Feel the explanation should have been More than just a Basic outline for the Basic allowance for subsistence has and Basic allowance for quarters bad pro Grams. 1 think the single soldiers need some honest answers to some age old questions. Why is someone paid More than 1 when i outrank him and we both do the same Job Why is the same Soldier allowed to live in a fairly Nice two bedroom apartment with a Kitchen bathroom and total privacy when i  forced to live in a 20-foot cubicle wit people i have never met before Why can he have guests Al any time Day or night for As Long As he wants and i can Only have a limited number of visitors who have to leave by a certain time Why is he allowed la keep his quarters clean Louis own standards while i  forced to keep my quart ers immaculately clean to someone else s sometimes unattainable standards i think the answer should be much More than be cause he is  not All of he single soldiers Are irresponsible Lilile kids who have to be guide through Basic living and if we were Why would we suddenly be held responsible overnight just because Ofa marriage certificate i understand that a married person has More responsibilities than a single person and there Are More necessities that have to be paid for but that is the Waythe married person has chosen to live. 1 Don t see Why 1 should be punished for choosing a different  no other line of work thai i know of is someone Given a pay raise just because he or she has gotten married. I have seen Good soldiers leave the army or gel married before they were ready for the sole reason of the Way they have to live while being single in the army. Ii scares me to think that if i choose to slay in the army and choose not to gel married i la have bar Racks life to look Forward to for 20 Yean 01 until 1become an e-7. This is the thought that slays in my mind while my ets Date draws nearer.spee.4kennelhc.blbb and Eshelm. Germany a single Soldier in the Grade of e-4 mates s952 per month. The Cost of food rent and utilities does not have to be paid from out of this Money. My husband also an e-4, makes 11,376 per month this is $424 More than a single Soldier makes. This $424 extra per month does t begin to comfortably cover the expenses of a married couple with two pre school age children. There is no Way we could pay rent utilities and food Bills and still have $932 left especially when in costs us $50 More to pay our rent this Mont because of the failing Dollar i  not complaining about the system. We have never gone hungry or naked but i feel thai a single Soldier who feels a married Soldier fares belter has completely gathered All the facts on the Cost of living and raising a family.
